Commentary and analysis on American politics, culture, and national identity, U.S. foreign policy and international relations, and the state of education
- from a neoconservative perspective! - Keeping an eye on the communist-left so you don't have to!

Obama's breach of protocol is of a piece with the substance of his foreign policy. He means to teach Americans to bow before monarchs and tyrants. He embodies the ideological multiculturalism that sets the United States on the same plane as other regimes based on tribal privilege and royal bloodlines. He gives expressive form to the idea that the United States now willingly prostrates itself before the rest of the world. He declares that the United States is a country like any other, only worse, because we have so much for which to apologize.

How is it that making an effort to show respect for another culture, rather than upholding a tradition of arrogance, ethnocentrism, and more testosterone-than-brains masculinity is a bad thing? Your wingnut ethnocentrism has left you all so insane as to be guided only by delusional aggression and constant fear of anything that does not conform to the bizarre brand of white male American bigotry you all find so comfortable. Your sentiment actually reads "If you're not like us, we do not respect you, and anyone who dares show you respect is an evildoer and a traitor!" I'm certain many of you simply won't understand why such sentiment is bad, though. It's very sad, what you neo-cons do to the US.

Leftist political commissars like TMV's Kattenburg, a bloated example of neo-Stalinist adoration of Dear Leadership, calls those Americans who decline to pluck the hems of the robes of kings and emperors "yokels."

I'm sure Kattenbulger's going to have a special agitprop cadre party line for Americans who object to Obambi's curtseying before Queen Elizabeth II.
